hahaha they probably don’t slice them up at all...I’m sure they are a good alternative for a man XD

Ugh, sorry to hear that. But good on you for staying classy!

I don’t know if they are worthy of Cheeseworthy, though.

Precisely. Also the reason why women with chronic/autoimmune illnesses have a hard time getting diagnosed. We’re all just wimps (hilarious when you think about a man laying up in bed whining when he has a cold). Gender roles/expectations have real consequences.

That’s a great way of looking at it. At my previous job, one guy had taken his wife’s last name and I commented to a female coworker how sweet I thought that was. She said “really?! I think it’s lame.” makes me sad how complicit women can be in antiquated gender roles, sometimes.

Yeah, I hate this too. If you’re so convinced that having the same last name means you’re family, does that mean you automatically disown any daughters who decide to marry and follow the tradition? And that you aren’t related to any grandchildren? Dumb.

More women need this attitude. My high school English teacher made her husband take her last name because his was Buttz. I thought she was amazing.

“supposed to have” ahahah - this is how I feel. that it’s so outdated and ridiculous.

Because our lives are MEANT to be hard! That’s part of being a real woman!

When I was a child, my mother’s brother changed his last name to that of his new wife. A few years later, it came up (idk how) and my dad said it was “really weird.” Me being a young teen, didn’t understand the name traditions, and so I asked why.

“Only criminals take their wives’ last names.”

...what?!

I’m catty, so probably don’t take my advice, but anyone that refused to use my name would get the same treatment from me. I’d just pick random last names to call them by until they got the not-so-subtle hint.

Instead of having an alternative to Mrs for men, I think we should go with your idea in a slightly different way. “Hello David Smithmeister, right this way.”

I think it’s ridiculous that women are still *expected* to take men’s last names in this day and age. If they choose to for their own reasons, fine. But women should NOT catch shit for keeping a name, nor should men for taking a new name (whether a blended name or their wife’s). As a queer, I’m SO SO SO happy I don’t…

ya in theory I’d really like to get behind the whole cup thing but...I like using tampons because I can forget about them (mostly). and I’m a lesbian too so it’s not even for the “f*ck the man” aspect.

lol do u work 4 tampax

I’ve really thought about getting one but I have leftover OCD-like tendencies from childhood (I washed my hands until they bled) and the mess factor always stops me. I just imagine getting it EVERYWHERE...on the floor, all over the sink, me...and using it in a public restroom seems like a nightmare as well. :(

Yeah, it would make sense to not have a blanket rule. Like, if your revenue is below X amount of dollars a year, the percentage of food to alcohol could be 20 or 30% instead.

I plan on getting my motorcycle license within the next year or so, but I’ve already decided I will NEVER ride on the freeways, especially during rush hour, because Houston drivers are crazy. Is it my fault that they are crazy? No. Do I have the power to not put myself in a dangerous situation? Yes. It might not be…

I was always taught by my mother to give motorcyclists lots of room and never ride their tail or do anything stupid, because they have a lot less protecting them and I would not want to kill someone because I’m driving stupidly. That being said, however, I saw a motorcyclist racing down the shoulder during Houston…

It may be true he shouldn’t have passed, but the car DEFINITELY should not have tried to hit him. That is completely ridiculous.

You seem to have this funny idea that more than 10% of the population actually gives a shit about service workers. If the only way we increased wages was “oh, well, make that business stop getting customers!” we’d all be fucked.
